Fallout: New Vegas?

My favorite fallout.

@ostyo: Nah, too expensive. I use a missile launcher (Annabelle).

I really liked the atmosphere of Lonesome Road. It would be awesome if it weren't for Ulysses fucking everything up with his asinine monologues and shitty backstory and hamfisted attempts at being some sort of foil to you. What was his deal anyway? Revenge for the Lone Wanderer f*cking up the divide? The most vivid memories I had from that DLC is using a laser pointer to set off a nuke and how ridiculously hard the Deathclaws were and the immense satisfaction when I finally blew one to pieces by setting like 30 frag mines in the same place.

Fallout 2 though. Oh the stories....

I remember at the beginning of the game, after I had been wandering the wastes aimlessly, fighting off radscorpions and Geckos because of my nil outdoormanship stat, I found Reno completely out of the blue. Excited, I ran up to it's gates, to see a complete wastebasket of a place truly a small town with big city tastes. I was greeted by a junkie who immediately tried to extort money off of me. I needed some intel on the city though, so I gave him enough for a quick fix and he game me the lowdown on the three crime families. The Wrights, a couple of Booze peddlers that seemed the lesser of the evils, the Salvatores, mercs with crazy ass laser guns that I wanted, the Bishops, political scoundrels whose soldiers I was already familiar with due to a chance encounter with a base they were using as a front to force an allegiance on Vault City. I didn't like Vault City as much as the next guy not from Vault City, but even though they were pretentious fucks, they deserved a better fate than that. Lastly, the Mordinos, the head honchos of the Jet trade that was keeping the poor miners of Redding doped and complacent.

Saying goodbye to my twitchy friend, I preceded to enter New Reno.

Long story short: I extorted a sniveling prick boy genius into a cure for jet addiction, eliminated the Mordinos out of pure spite for the horrors I saw in the jet development facility, fucked the wife of one of the biggest crime bosses in town, a hearts-struck starlet whose story of escaping the sheltered and superior life of Vault City only to find nothing but the muck of civilization that is New Reno resonated with me (not enough for me to steal all her sh*t), get into a huge gun fight with the Bishops for aforementioned infidelity, ending up wiping them all out, became a porn star and a champion boxer, killed the Salvatores for their shiny laser guns, and became a goddamn treasure hunter in a facility where an army of robots could one-shot me through combat armor to become the made man for the Wright family.

Note: I think the gameplay in Fallout would be for more fun if it were more like Stalker, where the enemies are a lot less durable, but so are you (you die in like 3 hits without armor, and you can bleed out). Emptying like 30 clips into the head of a super mutant just to shave off a hp gets real annoying after a while.

@squares: Sure hope you don't use melee companions.

Last I was at it, I think I was close to beating it. Then school happened.

@ostyo: Oh, I do. They can take it...generally.

@squares: lol Squares is hardcore. If you can't handle some explosive shells to the face... You ain't worth her time!

I borrowed it from a friend and literally sped trough it... Couldn't beat last boss, had to speech out.

Overall.. frightening game... At least for me. When you speed through like i did, everything you randomly encounter can kill you.

I always went with guns.

New Vegas is by far my favourite game. I love the franchise but honestly I was underwhelmed by Fallout 3. The aspects of the game were terrific, it played beautifully, but the story was a little weak and the world felt a lot less open. New Vegas on the other hand, had a much better story but also there seemed to be a lot more to do away from the main plot. I spent days just roaming the Mojave, ignoring Mr. House and just exploring.

I gave up playing video games because of New Vegas. It just started eating up too much of my time. Yet, I still get the urge to play it 2.5 years later.

@_grifter_: Which gun is your favorite?

Just started playing again - roleplaying as a Legion member named Kosmas Valens.

Pretty fun thus far.

@ostyo: I don't really know if I have a favorite, but for the most part I tend to use the All American Carbine, A Light Shining In the Darkness(or Li'l Devil for my sidearm), and Christine's CoS Silenced Sniper Rifle.

@thetruebarryallen: Slavin' and Genocidal like a boss..?

@force_echo: That sounds amazing.

That I am - I've been trying to come up with something of a storyline for him.

Currently he's been dubbed the 'Mad Centurion' by the entirety of the Legion - he had been sent to the Big MT with a group of legionaires under his command; however, he was the only one to survive. The horrors he suffered at the hands of the various experimental chambers are unspeakable and the lobotomy he received left him a hollowed version of his former self.

He now roams the wastes slaying anything and everything that crosses his path.

Or something like that - I dunno, it's still in the works hahaha

@thetruebarryallen: That's actually pretty cool. Lol I wonder if I can beat hardcore mode...

@squares: I found a glitch for infinite 25xp lol.

@ostyo: Yeah, I heard about that. Sounds tedious, though.

I remember playing fallout 3 and taking out a deathclaw with landmines and melee. Then I play New Vegas, see a death, get cocky, and attack it with a machete. It did not go well lol.

yeah I love this game for that memory alone.

I'm all about the mods, god there are soo many of them.

I made more screen shots, check this out, all mods.

Currently working on a build for Hardcore Mode that focuses on using Explosives, Unarmed, and Melee.

Welcome to the Mojave, Archibald McTaggart.

@squares: Yeah. But I did get to a few level ups I need from it lol.

@thetruebarryallen: Yeah, rocking a Explosive expert Legion supporter for my hardcore build. It's not that hard besides ammo being so heavy. Lol

I did the Goodspring's Glitch that allowed me to double my amount of perks and I'll be leaving Goodsprings at level 50.

BRING IT WASTELAND.

@thetruebarryallen: Well...so much for hardcore...

I've already played through the game on Hardcore, in fact my first playthrough when the game came out was to run through it blind on Hardcore.

I've earned my right to screw around!

@thetruebarryallen: lol Man, the Legion is seriously lacking in quests to raise their fame without attacking the NCR. I'm not ready to piss them off yet, damnit. Lol.

Yeah - the Legion Questline requires to you PO the NCR pretty quickly, tis a shame.
